All Of his picks will be guys he personally drafted and developed while playing Madden 2016 in his office over the past 12 months.

I'm tellin you guys to trust me! Jake Coker will outperform Paxton Lynch based on the first hand analysis I've done! Turn in the card!

I feel like that sketch exemplifies this FO situation. Tom Donohoe, Lurie and Howie feeling superior while running into walls, falling down and being comically incompetent.

This, of course, is a franchise which drafted Matt McCoy, linebacker from San Diego State, when they intended to draft Kirk Morrison, linebacker from San Diego State.

Did this actually happen? I hadn't heard this before.

It was day one of the 2005 NFL draft. In the first round, the Eagles selected DT Mike Patterson. It was lauded as a great pick. "The rich get richer" one ESPN analyst stated.

In the second round, the Eagles had two picks, and the first was used to select WR Reggie Brown. Some said he was the most underrated WR in the draft, and had the potential to be the most productive WR drafted in the Andy Reid era.

The 2nd pick was used on LB Matt McCoy...and a collective "huh!?" was heard.

For 6 months following the draft, the Eagles wesite, their media guides, and even their scounting department were all quoting McCoy's awesome collegiate career, nearly 400 tackles in 4 years. But...

Matt McCoy only played 3 years, accumulating 220 tackles. So whose stats were being quoted? Kirk Morrison, the MLB of the same team, drafted by the Oakland Raiders. McCoy was drafted 31st in the 2nd round (63rd overall). Morrison? He was taken 3-14 (78th overall).

Kirk Morrison was projected as a late day 1/early day 2 pick, with McCoy projected mainly as a 2nd day pick, possily undrafted. McCoy's shuttle time at the combine opened a few eyes, but he was still viewed as undersized (220lbs) for the position, and just not that talented.

This season, Morrison has started for the Raiders and led the team with 110 tackles. McCoy, despite the injuries, being eliminated from the playoffs, and the Eagles' desire to play young players to evaluate talent, has only played n 3 games and recorded one tackle for the season. He has not been injured, and it's not like the Eagles have a plethora of talent at the position.

The Eagles FO won't admit it, but they were targetting Kirk Morrison...and they grabbed his teammate by accident.

How many brothers of decent NFL players are in the draft this year?

JJ Watt's shittier younger brother is available to be drafted as a FB if they miss out on Fredo Gronk.

Also, Ed McCaffrey's kid is available. No, not the all-world, future Heisman winner from Stanford. The other one. The one who underwhelmed for 4 years as a WR at Duke. He'd fill Cooper's spot perfectly.

And there's Roseman attempting to shoot the tied down rabbit!!!

Now he's taken the pencil from behind his ear and is stabbing it!!!

[McCarthy12]

I honestly thought when we would talk about the Eagles accidentally taking McCoy over Morrison it was a joke. Kind of like I thought it was a joke that we drafted a 30 year old Canadian fireman who had just started playing football. I guess I'll never learn.

FOLDSTANDARD...fucking outstanding!!

[Ellsworth]

I'm speechless

[Dan Drives a Van]

That's insane. How had I never heard of this? Inexcusable.

[Ground_Meat]

...very depressing thread.

[3rd & Inches]

The eagles are on the clock and thanks to high def TV
I can see sweat trickling down Roseman's cheek
His heartbeat sounds like Sasquatch feet.
Thundering, shaking the concrete.

[Maniac]

I'm speechless

What are the great drafts the Eagles have had since Reid was hired? If Howie finds two starters - without a second rounder- he's above average. Not concerned at all.
